But if we believe that balanced really is better, why are we still so far behind on being balanced across industries? And what policies or initiatives have actually proven to be effective?

One efficient, albeit controversial, method is simple: Gender Quotas. All over the world, in both public and private sectors, gender quotas have been instituted. And as of October 2018, California followed suit.

Watch this week's episode to watch Below the Fold's first-ever debate on the arguments for and against gender quotas. Then shoot me a note on what you think about the efficacy or gender quotas in America. Good? Bad? Complicated? Definitely complicated.

Below the Fold breaks down the current political climate with news you may have missed and civics lessons you may have forgotten. Whether it’s a satirical sketch, a pithy vlog or an interview in the field, Below the Fold blends comedy with research to bring you insight on social justice topics and identity politics (real snowflake type stuff).
